Keto Crab Rangoon Food

CRAB RANGOON

Steps:

• For the sweet and sour sauce: Add the sugar, pineapple juice, vinegar, cherry syrup, ketchup and salt to a 3-quart saucepan over medium-low heat and cook, stirring, until the sugar is dissolved. Combine the cornstarch with 1/4 cup water in a bowl and mix well; add this to the sugar mixture. Turn the heat to medium-high and cook, stirring constantly, until the mixture thickens, 3 to 4 minutes. Chill in the refrigerator until ready to serve.
• For the wontons: Combine the crab, cream cheese, green onions, soy sauce and Worcestershire sauce in a large bowl. Mix well to combine; I found using your hands can sometimes be the best way. Lay out the wonton wrappers on a clean work surface. Place 1 tablespoon of the crab mixture in the center of each wrapper. Moisten the edges of the wrappers with a little of the egg wash, then fold each into a triangle. Press to seal the wontons, squeezing out any trapped air; this will ensure that the wontons stay closed during frying.
• Heat 2 inches oil in a deep-fryer or a Dutch oven to 375 degrees F. Fry a few wontons at a time until golden brown, 3 to 4 minutes. When you add the wontons to the oil, the temperature will drop about 10 degrees. Try to keep the temperature maintained at 360 degrees F. Remove to a paper towel-lined plate or sheet pan fitted with a wire rack. Repeat with the remaining wontons. Serve with the sweet and sour sauce and enjoy!

KETO CRAB RANGOON RECIPE

Steps:

• Make the dough for the wrappers. In a food processor, pulse the almond flour and egg, until uniform.
• In a medium bowl in the microwave, or a double boiler on the stovetop, melt the mozzarella cheese, until smooth.
• Add the melted mozzarella to the food processor. Process until a uniform dough forms.
• Sprinkle the xanthan gum over the dough. Process until well incorporated.
• If the keto wonton dough is sticky, form into a ball and refrigerate for at least 20 minutes, or until no longer sticky.
• In a medium bowl, stir together the La Terra Fina dip, green onions and coconut aminos.
• Gently fold in the lump crab meat.
• Place the ball of dough between 2 pieces of parchment paper. Flatten into a disc, then roll out into a thin square, 1/8 inch thick and about 12.5 inches on each side.
• Use a pizza wheel or knife to cut the rectangle into a grid of squares, 5 top to bottom and 5 across, so that each square is about 2.5x2.5 inches.
• Use an extra small cookie scoop like this to scoop filling in rows onto each square, off center, leaving an empty border along the edge of the rectangle and also between pieces. Fold the corner of each square over the opposite corner and seal the edges, forming a triangle. Repeat with all the crab rangoon pieces.
• Heat oil in a large skillet over medium heat for 2-3 minutes, until shimmering.
• Working in batches, add the crab rangoon in a single layer without touching. Cover and cook for 2-3 minutes, until golden on the bottom. Flip and repeat on the other side. Transfer to paper towels to drain. Repeat with the remaining pieces.
• In a small saucepan, combine all sauce ingredients. Bring to a simmer, then reduce heat and simmer for 2-3 minutes, until thickened.
